Sometimes when you are near the ocean and you see a friendly-looking face pop up out of the water, it can be really hard to tell if it is a seal or a sea lion. It can be equally difficult to tell the difference between a donkey and a mule at first glance.

As it turns out, there are a whole host of animals that many people mistake for something else. But that’s okay because for almost all of them, it’s incredibly hard to spot the telling traits to identify them correctly.

That is why we want to try and help you out with this quiz!

Below, you will find seven different animals that have an extremely similar “twin,” so it will be up to you to try and decide exactly what animal it is that you are looking at.

But if you are worried about choosing wrong, don’t! We made sure to explain the differences after each of your answers so that the next time you run into one of these creatures, you will know exactly what you are looking at.

Check out the quiz below and make sure to enjoy yourself!
